Just thought I’d send a little extra love your way today—Halloween hugs from me!
Fun fact:
Jack Nicholson’s divorce inspired a scene in “The Shining”?
According to today.com, there’s a scene in “The Shining” that writers — including Nicholson — know all too well: Wendy approaches Jack at his typewriter and he scolds her for trying to get in the way of his writing process. Nicholson later revealed that his character’s reaction, although exaggerated, stems from his own personal experience.
“That scene at the typewriter — that’s what I was like when I got my divorce. I was under the pressure of being a family man with a daughter and one day I accepted a job to act in a movie in the daytime and I was writing a movie at night and I’m back in my little corner and my beloved wife, Sandra, walked in on what was, unbeknownst to her, this maniac — and I told Stanley [Kubrick] about it and we wrote it into the scene,” the actor told The New York Times.
Hope you don’t have a scare in the world this Halloween!

What is Halloween to you? For some, October is the time for moody reads that take place in dark mansions or fog-shrouded country lanes. For others, Halloween means slasher horror films, vampire reads and creepy Stephen King novels. Some, however, prefer stories of real monsters that live among us disguised as humans.

A New Year is like a blank book, and the pen is in your hands. It is your chance to write a beautiful story for yourself. Happy Writing!
In Columbia people wear red underwear for love or yellow for money backwards, but by midnight, they have to be put on right.
In Ecuador, they make a doll to burn. It signifies the burning away of the old year and the welcoming of the new one. Men dress up in drag and pretend to be the “widow” of the doll and beg for coins in the streets to help pay for the funeral costs.
In Turkey, women wear red underwear for good luck. Also, they believe that it’s how you enter into the New Year, that’s how your whole year is going to be, for example: if you are spending your New Year’s Eve with friends and having fun, you’ll be surrounded with friends and have fun all year long.
